The one who approaches and has initiative has control over the size of their pool. If you sit around and wait for potential partners to approach you, it's quite a bit more random and variable.

Of course women don’t “have” to date anyone. Nobody HAS to date anyone. And women should have the power to say no at will. So should men. Guess what? They do!

This is some “mediocre boy doesn’t get the super hot girl so there’s some conspiracy against all men by women” BS.

> Women have the power to say no as they please

Men have the exact same power.

> Men on the other hand rarely refuse a potential partner.

True. Marriage will not be freely given, though.

> Men have the exact same power.

Not sure I understand your point. Several studies have already shown that men do not tend to refuse multiple partners (probably because they have nothing to lose as long as marriage/commitment is not involved). Women, however, as a general rule, do not act this way. Of course you can say men have the same power but they just do not exercise it.

> True. Marriage will not be freely given, though.

Agree

Yes. They have the power to say no but the things they say no to are different, as is the reason for saying no. In general, men and women want different things out of each other.
